ABC has effectively given The Alec Baldwin Show the cancelation ax. The network decided to drop the final two episodes of The Alec Baldwin Show, which has averaged a 0.24 in the key adults 18-49 demographic and 1.361 million viewers. They will be replaced by a repeat of The Rookie and a repeat of A Million Little Things before NBA coverage begins.

Before the pulling, The Alec Baldwin Show scored a new series low of a 0.14 in the demo and only 852,000 viewers. The show already was pulled from Sunday nights to move to Saturdays, and with the latest move, safe to say that it has been effectively canceled.

Shark Tank and Dancing With the Stars Juniors: Shark Tank certainly not the force it used to be, but Shark Tank is still a valuable asset for ABC. It's averaging around 0.7 so far, which is only a slight improvement on its terrible lead-in. However, DWTS Juniors enjoys a larger lead-in from AFHV, which is currently averaging a 0.8, with typically higher numbers in the second half of the episode (this week's episode averaged a 0.9, but went all the way to a 1.05 in its second half). DWTS Juniors also bleeds out viewers over the course of an episode (this week's episode fell from 0.66 to 0.56, similar to previous results), making for an even worse lead-in for Shark Tank. Shark Tank is definitely the more impressive of the two despite similar averages for the seasons, and it's receiving an upgrade. DWTS Juniors, meanwhile, is being downgraded. The DWTS spinoff isn't certainly out yet, but it really should be.

The Alec Baldwin Show: To the surprise of no one, ABC yanked their lowest-rated series from the schedule after just four episodes. It's getting the Ten Days in the Valley treatment, returning in mid-December to wrap its run, with likely horrific results. This one was a correct prediction for the index.

Child Support: We're only two episodes into the season, but Child Support is showing absolutely no signs of life. It's in the same exact position as last year's dearly departed flop The Toy Box: a late-season Friday reality show that makes the fall schedule and does abysmally. Except, unlike the Toy Box, Child Support wasn't a flop at first. But now it's ABC's lowest-rated show, and is doing even worse than last year's huge Friday flops like Once Upon a Time and Inhumans did. While it's probably a lot cheaper than those shows, it's still doing just too awful to put it in contention for renewal, and it's a LIKELY CANCELLATION.

Dancing With the Stars: My my, what do I say about this show? Dancing with the Stars is having a really rough season, not just going fractional for the first time, but going deep into fractionland. However, I can't see ABC kicking it to the curb so easily, especially with its recent "recovery" to 1.0. A move to Sundays (or Fridays) seems like a more likely fate than a straight-up cancellation. It's a LIKELY RENEWAL, but its glory days sure are behind it.

The Alec Baldwin Show: This talk show started last night with a 0.4, with 0.3 in the second half. Let's just not talk about this, it's CERTAIN TO BE CANCELED anyway.

America's Funniest Home Videos: Despite a strong season last year, AHFV fell a bit this season (thanks, in part, due to ABC's own scheduling). With a 0.8 average, the show is down about 20% thus far. However, it's still a bright spot on a Sunday lineup that can only be described as a disaster. This legacy show will live on for another year. It's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

Sunday TV Ratings 10/14/18: Charmed Starts Solidly, Alec Baldwin Show Fails

It was a strong return to Sunday for The CW last night, and. a disastrous return to TV for Alec Baldwin. The CW brought out its new genre Sunday block with Supergirl and Charmed for the first time, both starting at 0.5s and out-rating the majority of CW's from their Premiere Week. Charmed was one of the more high-profile newbies this season due to it being a somewhat-controversial reboot of the 1998 series, so its hold next week will be interesting to witness. As of now though, it looks like a solid addition to the CW's lineup. Supergirl had an excellent trend with its Sunday move, tying last year's premiere with a 0.5. NBC had a massive NFL game that preliminarily drew a 6.0. Things went less well elsewhere. ABC gave Alec Baldwin a show for some reason, and it flopped as expected with a 0.4. The rest of the lineup saw a mild boost from last week, except for DWTS Juniors, which held steady with its premiere. Over on Fox, everything fell apart. The Simpsons dropped to 1.0, while Bob's Burgers went fractional in week three and Family Guy fell to 0.8. At 9:30, Rel tied fellow newbie comedy megaflop I Feel Bad with a 0.5, and it's now below anything The Last Man on Earth ever did. CBS had some NFL help but didn't really show it in their ratings, with God Friended Me growing two tenths to an eternally-mediocre 1.1, while NCIS: LA grew a tenth with 0.9. Madam Secretary did her thing.

Final numbers to come.
